Hello!
We've got a complain that a semicolon character cannot be used to start
a comment in the kerberos config file.
In the documentation [1] I don't see mentioning comments at all, but it
is said that the config file is in style of Windows INI file, and the
later does allow semicolons to be used.
This blog entry [2] also mentions the semicolon as an alternative to the
hash sign '#'.
Would you please review the trivial change?
Comments, suggestions are very welcome.
